Three Lions hits No 1 spot in Big Top 40 after England reach World Cup semi-finals
The track, by comedians Frank Skinner and David Baddiel with The Lightning Seeds, knocked last week's chart-topper Solo by Clean Bandit and Demi Lovato off the top spot.
The No. 1 comes 22 years after the song was released in 1996 to accompany the European Championships, which were that year held in England.

Marvin Humes, presenter of the Big Top 40, said: "What an incredible day! It's only right that Three Lions is number one on the chart.
"Our boys in Russia are doing us so proud. The nation has come together and hopefully this is only the beginning of the celebrations."
